Wieden+Kennedy are accepting applications to join their next class at WK12. WK12 is the experimental advertising school housed at Wieden+Kennedy’s Portland office. Students work together (12 strangers working together, a bit like the Real World) on client driven projects and individually on their own art, music, movies and writing. It’s an education in problem solving… as well as one entry point to being the next big Nike ad man.

Applications are due on January 30, 2009.

Nike 1World Air Force 1 Marok Interview from HighSnobiety on Vimeo.

Not long ago we presented to you the Nike 1 World Air Force 1 designed by Berlin based artist and publisher Marok. The shoe is certainly one of the more subtle ones in the 1World line-up, therefore we wanted to catch up with him, to get some more information on the project, as well as the sneaker design.

Check out the Marok video interview here above!

Captured, the film that chronicles Clayton Patterson’s astute archiving of life on New York’s Lower East Side, gets its European debut this week. First screening on January 3 at Berlin’s Babylon Theater, the documentary will get additional playings on both the 7th and 22nd. No word yet on if other European cities will follow suit, but there’s little doubt showings will become more frequent.

Full flier after the jump.

Our features section has nicely filled up in recent weeks, so here is a little reminder post in case you have not checked them out recently. We sat down with The Changes Crew and talked to them about their recent exhibition at MU Eindhoven. Get a deep look into their work and in case you missed the exhibition, we have lots of images up giving you a nice recap. Andrea Rosso, son of Diesel founder Renzo Rosso, talked to us about 55DSL, the brand that he founded and that is celebrating their 15th anniversary this year. We also filmed Nigel Sylvester in action on his BMX and talked with him about BMX, sneakers, bikes and a lot more. Last but not least we did a quick check up with Wale, a name that is heavily circulating these days in the music industry.

• Video With Nigel Sylvester

Make sure to keep an eye on our Features section, as you can see, there is weekly new stuff coming up! Now enjoy…

Arkitip sat down with James Bond, one of the founders of Undefeated. While Eddie Cruz is more often in the spotlight on this behalf, James Bond usually stays in the background. The video gives some nice background information on the creation of Undefeated, as well as what it stands for and what they are trying to do with it!

Complex caught up with Nigo for their November 2008 issue and got the Japanese designer to talk about subjects that he had not talked about ever before in interviews. Turns out Nigo has a girlfriend since three years, never reads blogs and thinks that Bape gets knocked-off just as much as people talk about them knocking off Nike.

Well, just check it out for yourself here.

Crailtrap sat down with artist Neckface and made a list of his Top 5 of pretty much everything. From fast food, skaters to things to steal the list is pretty complete. Check it out here.

The guys from The Think Movement sat down with Kaws for a short video interview. They talk mostly about the business aspect of Kaws’ life, which is pretty interesting. Via Crazytoys.

Today the announcement came in that Diddy bought Enyce from Liz Claiborne. Liz Claiborne had bought the brand in 2003 for 114 Mio. USD and Diddy bought it now for 20 Mio. USD, which seems like it was a good deal. It will be interesting seeing how the brand changes in the next couple of months, as it has been a while since it was regarded cool. Hopefully he did not buy into a dead market! Check out Diddy’s statement about the move here above!

Complex caught up with Nin Truong, the founder and creative director of one of our favorite brands in the market – Maiden Noir. The designer gives us a nice tour on how a collection is being built, what his steps in the creation process are and much more.
